The Baja España Aragón, also known as the Baja Aragón or Spanish Baja, is a baja rally event held in the region of Aragón in northern Spain.

This event was launched in 1983, based on the popularity of the African Adventure rallies, such as the Dakar Rally and the Pharaons Rally. The event's creators, a group of French and Spanish enthusiasts, chose the desert of Monegros because of the scenery and availability of service infrastructure in Zaragoza. The first baja in Spain was called the Baja Montesblancos.[1]

In 1992, the Spanish Baja was cancelled, as it coincided with the Summer Olympics in Barcelona. After this, the Spanish Automobile Federation took over the organisation, and entered it into the FIA Cross Country Rally World Cup.[1]

As of 2024, it is part of the FIA World Baja Cup and FIM Bajas World Cup schedules as well as the Spanish Cross-Country Rally Championship.
